spotty SAE's

Greetings,all. This is my first post as a new member but I've enjoyed reading the postings to this forum for several weeks now. I collected as a kid, never really lost interest in the hobby, and about three years ago began again accumulating coins. I say accumulating because I tend to acquire whatever catches my eye and have not as yet focused on an area (though I do enjoy proof gold
) To begin with, I have a question for you experts out there. Three years ago I purchased ten 2000 SAE MS69 in ICG holders and stuck them in the safe. I recently looked them over and was dismayed to find that without excecption they have developed spottiness/cloudiness. This most unattractive quality is concentrated towards the rim of the coins but on some it extends across the entire surface of both sides. None of my other coins, whether slabbed or raw, have experienced this most disconcerting malaise so I suspect some pre-slabbing foreign substance involvement (maybe the grader had a nasty cold that day?) Anyway, I was wondering if anyone knows what might have caused this, what, if anything,can be done about it, and if I might have any recourse with ICG (hmmm, it just occurred to me--ICG--Iraqi Contagion Grading--think about it). Well, thanks in advance and pardon me if I'm out of line right out of the blocks. Bob

Most men and women lead lives at the worst so painful, and at the best so monotonous, poor, and limited, that the urge to escape, the longing to transcend themselves, if only for a few moments, is and always has been one of the principal appetites of the soul.
